[emerg] getpwnam(“ckserver”) failed in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:1 #i am getting this error can some help me
Nginx starts ok. its status shows ok. But upon droplet/ubuntu 18.04 reboot, nginx doesn’t start. Then before manual starting, its status shows an error: root@1:~# service nginx status ● nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/nginx.service.d └─override.conf Active: failed (Result: signal) since Thu 2019-12-12 13:42:43 UTC; 50s ago Docs: man:nginx(8) Process: 982 ExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 0.1 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 969 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on; (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 905 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g daemon on; master_process on; (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 981 (code=killed, signal=KILL)

And because of this, everytime I reboot my droplet, I’ve to pay attention to starting nginx manually. Also if I create a script to run Nginx, that doesn’t work too.
There are probably configuration errors somewhere. With nginx, finding these errors are easy, because it has utility that will test every configuration file.
Execute
- sudo nginx -t
It will test nginx config and return is there error anywhere. Fix errors, test it again and try to start it:
- sudo nginx -t
- sudo systemctl start nginx
- sudo systemctl status nginx # to verify is it started
If you need help fixing errors, post part of configuration with it and we will try to help you. :)
